Abstract

This paper presents the results of high-speed co-flow jets from orifices with two annular gaps tested with a single feed system. The co-flow models consist of a primary orifice of 10 mm diameter (D) surrounded by 12 secondary orifices of 0.3D diameter each, positioned in an annular fashion around the primary orifice. The annular gap between the edge of primary orifice and the secondary orifices were 0.15D and 0.45D. The co-flow is found to reduce the potential core of the primary jet at Mach numbers 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0. The nozzle pressure ratios corresponding to Mach numbers 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 are 1.02, 1.12, 1.28, 1.52 and 1.89, respectively. The 0.45D annular gap is found to be more efficient in promoting the mixing of the primary jet.
